“Don’t let anyone capture you with empty
philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from
the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ” (Colossians 2:8, NLT).
The current philosophy surrounding transgenderism is part of the “high-sounding nonsense” the Bible warned against. It has so infused the culture today that the US Supreme Court decided the 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex (“male” and “female”) now means whatever an individual defines one’s “sex” to be. (Currently, there are over 100 officially recognized genders in America, and Facebook even gives you the choice of more than 70 genders you can choose on your personal profile.)
The support for choosing one’s gender has now reached the point where hormone blockers are being prescribed for pre-pubescent children who might be “suffering” from “gender dysphoria.”
This is genuinely disturbing because, as endocrinologist Dr. Michael Laidlaw explained, “It has been shown that puberty blockers interfere with the expected increase in bone density in adolescence such that the bones are not as strong as they would be had normal pubertal development been allowed.”
This is due to the effect of dropping sex hormone levels to subnormal levels. These lost years of bone development cannot be regained.
Several individuals who experienced various gender reassignment procedures have revealed that they have suffered irreparable harm because their gender confusion was affirmed through surgeries and medical procedures that left them permanently damaged.
While gender dysphoria is a diagnosable condition, treating it is not the same as redefining biological reality to perpetuate a myth. Gender reassignment surgery leaves scars that are irreversible. But most importantly, we should never compromise the integrity of scientific research for the sake of political correctness.
Philippians 4:8 urges: “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.”
As Christians, we must pursue truth and fight for it. The distinction between X and Y chromosomes is an indisputable biological and scientific truth that must not be ceded in our society— lest finders-of-fact become finders-of-opinion and we therefore subjugate our legal process to the ever-changing whims of social politics.
